But why is he here?
Why would they appear in Liyang territory?
Logically speaking, shouldn't he stay at Shaolin Temple?
Dongxi then spoke up, "Since you are a Shaolin disciple, then we can be considered to be from the same lineage."
All Buddhist temples in the world belong to the same sect and are essentially one entity.
What she said was not wrong.
She was naturally familiar with the name Shaolin. As a woman of the martial arts world and the daughter of Li Dangxin, how could she not know the number one sect in Buddhism?
Shaolin Temple has a thousand-year-old heritage and profound cultural foundation, far surpassing the two Zen temples.
"Master Fahai, where are you going?"
The journey from Shaolin to here is long.
Fahai replied, "This humble monk wishes to travel to Beiliang to find someone."
Upon hearing this, Miss Li immediately smiled.
"Oh? That's great! We're going the same way anyway!"
"I was just about to go to Beiliang to visit Xu Fengnian."
Fahai simply smiled after hearing this.
In the original novel, this girl did indeed go to see Xu Fengnian.
At that time, Xu Fengnian left the Prince's Palace and traveled six thousand miles through the Jianghu (martial arts world), where he met Li Dongxi and Wu Nanbei. Before parting, he mentioned that his family was wealthy.
The two young friends did not despise him for his beggar-like appearance at the time, and actually went to Beiliang to find him.
Now, the timing is perfect; they have indeed met and are indeed planning to go find Xu Fengnian.
"If that's the case, let's travel together."
The three then traveled together on their journey.
Chapter 159 Xu Weixiong?
They had barely left when a white-robed monk appeared out of thin air in the distance; it was none other than Li Dangxin of Liangchan Temple.
How could he not know that his daughter and disciple had secretly slipped out of the temple?
He had long understood that his daughter was naturally unruly, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Life in the temple is monotonous after all, so let her be.
He then let her travel around the north and south with him.
Anyway, as a father, he accompanied me all the way.
In this world, who could possibly harm those two children under his protection?
But to his surprise, they encountered the awe-inspiring Fahai on the road!
Li Dangxin naturally knew Fahai's identity.
That was an extremely terrifying existence!
In the future, they will surely be able to ascend to the realm of celestial beings!
He even possesses the strength to slay a saint! He is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius!
But why did he come to Liyang, and why was his destination Beiliang?
The land of Beiliang is of paramount importance to the entire Liyang region, yet it remains shrouded in secrecy.
Fahai's sudden departure for Beiliang puzzled Li Dangxin. Since they were traveling together, he decided to follow along and see what was going on. He wanted to see if he could uncover Fahai's true purpose for this trip.
As the three traveled towards Beiliang, they were suddenly confronted by a troop of horses galloping towards them. A woman was riding away on horseback, pursued closely by dozens of figures.
The woman was of ordinary appearance, not exceptionally beautiful, yet she exuded a sharp aura. Especially her eyes, clear and deep, seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
She possessed extraordinary skills and a steady, composed aura, seemingly already approaching the Grandmaster realm. In contrast, the pursuers, all dressed in black with bizarre attire, were all highly skilled, each also a Grandmaster!
The fact that several grandmasters were tasked with killing one person demonstrates the ruthlessness and extravagance of the person behind it. This also suggests that the woman being hunted was no ordinary individual.
In the martial arts world, a Grandmaster is enough to become the leader of a sect or a pillar of a school. Even among the top forces, they are key figures. But now, these people are just cold-blooded killers.
This shows just how enormous the interests she is involved in are.
Upon seeing Fahai and his group, the woman immediately pleaded for help: "I am Xu Weixiong, and I humbly request your assistance, Master!"
"Xu Weixiong?" Fahai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
It turned out to be her.
She was the second daughter of the Xu family, the most cunning of them all, and Xu Fengnian's second elder sister, whose talent was renowned throughout the land. She was the top-ranked woman on the Rouge Ranking, a fact known to all.
She was not Xu Xiao's biological daughter, but the daughter of the famous general Ye Baikui. She was exceptionally intelligent and resourceful.
After Xu Fengnian inherited Beiliang, she took charge of military and political affairs, planned the overall situation, and made great contributions to stabilizing Beiliang.
It wouldn't be surprising if she were assassinated.
In the original novel, the Xu family's children are constantly in the spotlight, targeted by all sides, and assassination attempts are commonplace.
The Liyang court dispatched Zhao Gou's elite troops, intending to eliminate any potential threat and prevent Beiliang from gaining too much power.
Furthermore, because Xu Xiao had pacified the martial arts world in the past, he had incurred deep grudges with various sects, which naturally attracted countless enemies in the martial arts world.
Therefore, she and her brothers walked on the edge of life and death from a young age. Even when Xu Fengnian traveled six thousand miles, he was constantly being assassinated.
Since she was both Xu Fengnian's second sister and a relative of an old friend, Fahai naturally couldn't stand idly by.
Moreover, he still owed Xu Fengnian a favor, and he couldn't forget Lao Huang's kindness.
Back then on Mount Wudang, Old Huang fought Zhuge Zhengwo to the death, just to protect him. That scene remains unforgettable to this day.
Fahai clasped his hands together and softly chanted the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"Don't worry, benefactor, this humble monk is here."
The leading master roared, "Little monk, are you tired of living!"
"kill him!"
At the leader's command, the rest of the group immediately rushed towards Fahai!
"North and South!" Dong Xi shouted urgently upon seeing this, hoping that North and South would lend a hand.
But North and South remained unmoved, instead reaching out to pull East and West back.
"What are you doing?"
Nanbei said calmly, "Don't worry, they are no match for Senior Brother."
Dongxi looked on in astonishment, gazing north and south.
The assassins had already rushed up to him, but Fahai sneered and raised his hand.
"The mighty Tianlong!"
Its overwhelming power crashed down!
In an instant, all the assassins fell to the ground, dead. The object was utterly astounding!
This little mage is incredibly powerful?
Xu Weixiong, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also shocked.
She was just trying her luck, hoping to get help from the people on the road to escape her predicament.
Unexpectedly, this monk possessed such terrifying strength, eliminating all enemies with a single strike.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and a thoughtful light appeared in her eyes.
Young and handsome, with unfathomable strength, he bears a striking resemblance to the name that is legendary in the martial arts world.
Could it be...
If it really is him, then perhaps there is a real chance for me to turn things around.
She gazed at Fahai's retreating figure, her mind churning with emotions.
Meanwhile, the master who was leading the group was also dumbfounded.
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he stared at Fahai with trepidation.
"Above the fifth rank!"
He exclaimed in shock, realizing that the person who could easily kill so many experts was no ordinary person, despite his young age!
Grandmaster, First Grade, First Heaven Realm, I am no match for him at all!
The thought crossed his mind, and he immediately turned to flee.
But how could Fahai let him leave? With a wave of his hand, his palm strike pierced through the air!
"Where to escape!"
An immense pressure, like a mountain, poured down, engulfing everything!
This palm strike was incredibly domineering, landing directly on the leader, its crushing force exploding instantly!
A powerful aura surged forth, and the man was killed on the spot before he could even scream!
Seeing the enemy leader executed, Xu Weixiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"My name is Xu Weixiong. I am grateful to the Master for saving my life."
"May I ask your honorable title, Venerable Master?"
Her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through everything, and she already had the answer in her heart.
Fahai calmly replied, "This humble monk is Fahai."
